It finally happened! Wheel of Fortune fans were rejoicing after a contestant won their second game. So far, returning champions have only won one game, but it changed on April 17.
Chad Cabanilla, from Nicolett, Minnesota, returned for his second game as part of the Spring Forward Champions Tournament. On April 16, he won $18,293 and tried to win his second on Friday.
